L3200 won't start after fuel housing reeplacement

[vickark]

A limb broke off the forward hose nipple off of the fuel filter housing. I replaced it this evening. I read in the manual to open the fuel bleed valve and start the engine.
Well, it won't start. There's plenty of fuel in the bowl and all lines are secure.
Any ideas?

A couple of weeks ago I ran out of fuel and had a similar problem. This thread is what I did to get it going again.

You can always crank and crack injector. Do all thre it always works with a diesel. Their might be an easier fix or way to bleed it. I know for sure crank and crack injectors. Start back to front will work. It just might take a little more time. Mine were very easy to get to on my l3000dt.

1 crank engine
2 turn injector line connector 1/3 turn ( 17 mm wrench on mine. Bubbles should come out)
Repeat steps 1-2 until all cylinders have been bled. It may take two cycles but it'll get your air out

Well, I got the 3200 fired up. I was able to bleed down by loosening the inj. lines. Runs a little rough. It ought to line out after some use.
Thanks
